They told the school about improper fractions and mixed numbers in Math, and how to classify animals into groups in Science.
Well done!

Zones!

Over the next few weeks, our two school counselors, Mme Bees and Mme Marcoux will be coming in to the class to talk about a program called the Zones of Regulation. Students will learn more about themselves and explore strategies to help them manage how they think, feel and act. 

We will talk about four zones that help to describe how our brains and bodies feel. We will also talk about expected and unexpected behaviours and how these behaviours can make others feel. We will explore triggers, both those that can make us feel happy and those that can make us upset. Finally, we will practice using a variety of sensory tools and develop some calming strategies to help us manage our mood and regulate our behaviour.

It's time for another Speechtastic!

This time, students are preparing an Informative Speech. They have chosen a topic (a person, a place, an event, a product...) and are planning a 2-5 minute speech to inform the audience about this topic. They should be sure to have an introduction, a middle (with all the important information explained with clear details) and a conclusion.

Speechtastic Presentations are Thursday, November 14th and Friday, November 15th. 

P.O.O.F!

Students had the chance to reflect on this past week by completing a POOF (Positive Observations on Friday) page.
We shared our observations in class, and now students have been asked to share their page with someone at home.

Happy Friday!

Happy Pyjama Day!
